Stocks posted substantial gains on March 3 on the two exchanges, thanks to strong buys by foreign investors.
The foreign sector was responsible for another net buy value of 77.3 billion VND (3.6 million USD) on the Hochiminh Stock Exchange. Their buys focused on blue chips, including VinGroup (VIC), Masan Group (MSN), Hoang Anh Gia Lai Co (HAG) and Phu My Fertilizer (DPM), which also helped lift prices of these shares.
On the Hanoi Stock Exchange, they also collected shares worth a net value of nearly 30 billion VND (1.4 million USD).
Stable trading by the foreign sector contributed to ease local investors’ psychology.
In the southern market, the VN-Index added nearly 6 points, or 1.01 percent, to close the session at 596.72 points. The VN30, which tracks the top 30 shares by market value and liquidity, gained 1.66 percent to end at 627.27 points.
Market conditions were positive, as the advancers outnumbered the decliners by 157-71 while 77 closed flat.
Liquidity also soared with both trading volume and value rising 30 percent over the previous session, totaling 113 million shares worth 1.944 trillion VND (nearly 91 million USD) by the end of the day.
On the Hanoi Stock Exchange, the HNX-Index edged up 0.89 percent to end at 86.24 points and the HNX30, which tracks the top 30 shares by market liquidity here, increased 1.37 percent to close at 164.67 points.
The number of gainers was higher than that of losers by 128-71. The other 162 were flat.
Trading was busy with over 44.5 million shares worth 555 billion VND (26 million USD) exchanging hands, up 40 percent in both volume and value compared with the previous day’s levels.
